Follow The Money | April 7, 2026 | Hour 1

In this hour-long episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the aftermath of the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship, where Michigan's improbable title run—despite poor shooting and being outrebounded—sparked intense discussion about the shifting landscape of college basketball. The duo emphasizes how NIL and the transfer portal have eliminated rebuilding phases, allowing programs like Michigan and Texas Tech to become instant contenders. They analyze betting angles from the title game, including Dan Hurley’s historic 19-1 ATS tournament run and the historic fact that Michigan won without making a single three-pointer. The conversation then pivots to Major League Baseball, with detailed breakdowns of pitching matchups, weather-impacted games, and strategic prop bets—especially on young phenoms like Cooper Flag and the Mets’ injury-plagued roster. The hosts also highlight the growing influence of data tools like VEASAN Pro and OptAI, while addressing tax implications for gamblers and the cultural phenomenon of Calcutta auctions in both March Madness and the Masters. Throughout, the theme of 'following the money' is reinforced through market volatility, player movement, and the financial incentives driving modern sports.
